Expert Tips

*To cook in skillet, heat 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sprayed sandwiches; cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until toasted and cheese is melted.

No cooking spray? You can lightly brush the outsides of each sandwich with a little olive oil before cooking.

In Italian, the word "panini" means "small bread," such as a sandwich or roll. We use it to describe any delicious sandwich filled with veggies, cheese and sometimes meat that is grilled or cooked in a contact-type sandwich maker.

This is an awesome sandwich! I used a wedge of laughing cow cheese. I will be making this again and again! As for the fat content and carbs, well, there are 2 pieces of bread! If you use water packed artichoke hearts and low fat cheese, you are good to go!

This recipe has 1g of trans fats in it, 10 grams of fat, and is loaded with carbs (40). Heart-healthy? I don't think so.
